one of unusual merit and was played in a
way worthy the music, The inspiring
strains of Meyerbeers prophet" march
prepared the people for genuine feast Of
music and opened the way for the second
number, the andante from Beethoven's fifth
symphony. which was given an
excellent rendering. Weber's 'Invitation
TO Dance" was one of the beautiful things
OF the concert. The ford music is well
adapted to display the abilities OF the Or
chestra. The introduction abounds in
brilliant cadenZas, which were given with
great smoothness and brllliancy. The mel
ody is we'll known and the waltz movement
adds much to its attractiveness. The
fourth number was either solo with string
obligato. Mr.. Kruger. the soloist, sat be-
hind the scenes, and after long
orchestral introduction, which included
brilliant melody for the flute, the
soft first notes of the solo hushed the audi
ence to absolute stiffness. The melody was
very sweet and played with great delicacy
OF touch and expression. The string obll-

the nearer is filled with the conception of
its magniticence he is very apt to find in
Wagner'S mighty harmonieS. with their
mysterious whirring and their great volume.
little else than noise The success of RienZi
yesterday is a fiattering evidence of the
cultivated taste OF the audience, no less
than of appreciation of the meritorious work
of the orchestra. Michel's Forge in the
Forgest," played by Gilmore's band at a
concert in this city, was the next number,
and it had to be repeated. The concert
closed with KontskfS familiar awakening
of the Lion" On the reverse of the pro-
